Dog River Marina in Mobile AL would be a good location. While looping, I found few facilities in New Orleans that would be boater friendly. We acctually stayed on lake Poncatrane in a municipal marina. I did not feel that the municipal marina was at all boater friendly. I had the feeling that the employees I encountered had political appointments and knew very litle about boating. The exception was the assistant dockmaster who was very knowledgeable.
